“I love watching how light can create a mood.

In this new body of photographic work Fabrizio is able to capture a single moment, and use that moment to invoke an entire story. She said, “I believe that art should make you feel something, it should touch you, make you think, laugh, cry. I consider myself an

Using aspects of iconic imagery each photograph is packed with details that lead the viewer somewhere in their memory. Working with fictional scenes desensitizes the narrative and creates a haven for viewer sympathies. In safety, viewers are more likely to project their own experiences and narrative onto the piece. Each image is purposely unresolved. They are, in essence, stories in need of an ending.

Jada Fabrizio is an American Photographer who lives and works in Hudson County, New Jersey. She studied creative writing at SUNY New Paltz and photography at the School of Visual Arts andICP (International Center of Photography) in New York City. She received the 2016 Art Scene Today first place award for “It’s a mad mad world.”

The Monmouth Museum’s New Jersey Emerging Artists Series will present Negotiations of Place by Jason M. Stewart from June 2nd through July 2nd, 2017 in the Nilson Gallery at the Museum, located at 765 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, NJ.

“It is through the physical act of creating that I honor a past experience but also create a new place.” “Schematic drawings, which represent fact and accuracy, are drawn from memory; memories filled with emotions and inaccurate accounts.” – Jason M. Stewart

In Negotiations of Place, Stewart is concerned with the struggle that occurs between the real and the remembered, the rational and instinctual. “My process begins with an awareness of place and the way it is seen, experienced, and remembered. Through photographs and drawings, I study places of personal significance and transience,” said Stewart. These studies are abstracted through the improvisation and vocabulary of paint in a way that honors the locale while becoming something new. The abstractions develop in unknown directions. They are improvised and intuitive, reactionary and resourceful, quick but authentic.

“My intent is to juxtapose a painting with itself. Thick, organic, viscous layers are contrasted with delicate marks, transparent glazes, or geometric simplicity. While paint builds up, it destroys or limits what is underneath – creating a push and pull between the past and present.” Jason M. Stewart is a New Jersey artist working with painting, installation, mixed media sculpture and assemblages.
